Seth ‘s POV
My hands automatically reach up my hair pulling it back, a habit that I can’t seem to remove.
The boys have been teasing me a lot for this but I don’t care.
Zanaya once told me I look hot doing it and I swear, her telling those fucking words straight to me with her sweet innocent voice made me fucking turned on.
Well, not that she doesn’t even in normal circumstances.
I still remember our conversation with each other.
I was pushing my hair like I normally do when she suddenly spoke.
“I love it when you push your hair backward. You look-ahm,” she stuttered.
“I look what?” I teased her as she started fanning her face.
She looks so fucking cute. I can kiss her all night.
“You look hot,” she stated and she immediately covered her face as I pulled her for a hug.
I swear her pink cheeks are so cute, I’d love to pinch it and kiss it at the same time.
Soft chuckles escaped my lips at how whipped I sounded.
I’m glad I don’t have either of the boys with me because they certainly won’t ever let me live if they catch me smiling by myself like I was some girl in fifth grade who just received a lollipop from her crush.
The occasional teasing that I am receiving had been too much especially since Sky and Grey apparently had decided to dedicate their whole idol life teasing me about Zaya.
Not that I mind though. I’m still thankful that they covered for me when I carelessly decided to go to Australia and follow her.
Storm and Raze had noticed how miserable I’m starting to be so they suggested that I follow her to set things straight between the two of us.
Of course, they only thought we had a lover’s quarrel especially after my dating scandal with Sally had been blowing the media a little too often lately.
When I saw her crying last time after that incident with Sally, I had to run for her when I realized Tokyo had pulled her so she won’t be crying in front of us.
I had known how easily she cries back then, I feel proud of how mature she handles things afterward.
I was mad and frustrated when she did didn’t answer my calls that night.
Just remembering her devastated look makes my heart twist in pain.
That night, I asked Sky for backup so he can take me away from Sally in case Zaya decided to drop by our practice again.
I can’t even tell her that Sally had been bothering me lately because I’m afraid she’ll be upset and jealous again.
It seems that she’s a little sensitive with any Sally subject also I vowed to avoid Sally at all costs.
We’ve been busy these past few days that I quickly grabbed Grey when I saw Zaya on her own.
I needed to see her.
I needed to touch her and hear her sweet voice.
I miss her.
So I did one thing that I knew is a little dangerous and careless but hell, I pulled her towards the dark corner and hugged her real tight.
If she’s not wearing any makeup and we don’t have an awards night to go to, I’d probably smashed her lips with mine.
A whistle escaped my lips while I wash my hands. And then I saw someone with a tall built coming in.
A dear friend of mine that I’m not sure if I am excited to see, Charlie.
I immediately nodded once our eyes met.
We may be friends but of course, he’s still my senior and you gotta show your respect to your senior no matter what.
A smile flashes on his face after recognizing me.
“Oh, Seth!” he said as he taps my shoulder before washing his hands as well.
“Yes, Charlie.” I greeted him.
“We seemed to be bumping with each other often, huh?”
I just chuckled at his words, remembering how he saw me just right after he saw Zanaya earlier.
“And coincidentally, I always bumped into Zanaya whenever I see you.” he eyed me suspiciously. “Wait, she isn’t in one of the cubicles, is she?” he added as he looks around.
“What the-hey! This is a men’s bathroom!” My eyes were wide open at his words.
Unconsciously, I looked around to check if there isn’t someone near us who might possibly hear our conversation. Knowing our nature of work, words like these spread like wildfire in the forest.
I looked at him as he fix his hair in front of the mirror.
“I won’t be asking this again, Seth.” his eyes looked serious and I sigh, knowing where this conversation is leading.
Of course, I knew what he was about to ask as he had already asked me that question.
Too bad, I had to give the same answer, not for me, but for her.
For both of our fans, for our members….
I resist the urge to ball my fist in frustration.
I can’t let Charlie read through me.
“If you’re going to ask the same question, my answer would be the same. I’m not dating her.” I told him firmly.
Because we’re already married. I told to myself and somehow, knowing this truth made my mind felt at ease after blatantly lying about our relationship.
He chuckled at my seriousness.
“Your words… If that’s what you said.” his eyes glinted, an amused expression written all over his fave.
I don’t even know why but somehow, I’m not liking the glint of mischievousness that is registering on his facial features.
“Why?” I asked getting a little suspicious.
Somehow, I felt my inside twitch as I’m starting to get an idea of why he kept on asking me those things.
Don’t tell me… Fuck, No.
He slowly faces towards my direction, my hands hanging in front of me as I was unable to really wash my hands properly because of this conversation that we’re having.
“I think you already have an idea why,” he said before patting my shoulder and exiting the bathroom.
“Shit,” I muttered.
Did Charlie just confirm me that he likes my girlfriend?
Or should I say, wife?
I grunted in annoyance as I turn off the faucet in front of me.
Whatever. I can simply tell Zaya about it and ask her to avoid him.
Besides, after this performance, they shouldn’t be seeing each other any longer.
I mean, we’re idols and we’re busy.
The only reason why idols should be seeing each other outside of work is if their friends, or if they are lovers.
And I definitely don’t want him to be close to Zaya in either aspect.
Zanaya is mine. I’m pretty sure I had that established since she started kissing me back.
And I like kissing my Zaya.
I quickly dried my hands before exiting the room.
Zanaya’s acoustic performance would soon start and my dance performance just ended.
Just the thought of seeing her made my heart flutter.
I can’t believe how I once snapped on her one our first meeting and now, I feel like I’m head over heels for the girl.
My girl.
Ge’ez. I had to laugh a little after Zaya insisted that I don’t overdo my dancing because a lot of girls had been crushing on me.
I remember her bringing up that survey in the GAME event where I got the biggest vote whom girl idols would like to see in the finish line.
My Zanaya, she’s so cute when she’s jealous.
As I was walking back to where the event is, I noticed a few staff frantically looking around searching.
They didn’t even notice me walking by but I was sure I heard the guy saying something weird.
“We must find him before he sees Miss Devon or BP will kill us.”
I not even sure if he said BP or I must be hearing things.
“Aist!” the other man curses as they quickly ran.
I started walking again when I heard the other spoke.
“Stupid obsessive fans.”
I shook my head in confusion.
Why do I feel like something weird is about to happen?
